Just for your info: I'm using ttya as console and ttyb to connect a APC 
SmartUPS (with pkgsrc/sysutils/ups-nut) quite happily. They share the same
connector on my LX, so I had to solder a Y-shaped cable (with special case
handling for the UPS, since the APC cable had weired wireing, which, to my
suprise, differed from boths APC cable wireing nullmodem.com knew about)

But it works just fine, using /dev/ttyb.
